The north Norfolk village of Cawston was the scene of a fatal car accident on Sunday, May 19, when a man in his 50s was killed after his car left the B1145.

And residents have said the road has repeatedly been the scene of accidents and is set to see traffic from up to 250 heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) using the route in coming years as firms build wind farms off the Norfolk coast.

Spokespersons for Orsted and Vattenfall described the accident as "tragic" and a spokesperson for Orsted said "up-to-date safety assessments" would be completed before using the route for HGVs.

Now one resident has spoken of his concerns about the road being unsuitable after a lorry became stuck just feet from his house.
